We often want to force change on a culture when we see it does not align with Scripture. Forcing change from the outside is like kicking down a brick wall – it is possible, but it is going to take a long time and it will hurt. Instead of forcing external change, we need to plant the Gospel within a culture, disciple people to obey what it teaches, and enjoy watching God transform that culture from the inside out. Although the process of discipling this way takes time and is not easy, the transformation is deeper and more lasting.
You can find a video along with this quote here.
How can you plant the gospel in your cultural setting so that it can bear the fruit of transformation from the inside out?
